You could also search for commercial or industrial mops instead of traditional.

@Sandra and @Sarah: thanks for the links – I hadn’t heard of either of those websites. I’ll check them out and hopefully start using them at the library.

http://Www.buzzillions.com is one of my go-to source for product reviews. Out of curiosity, I searched for [wet floor mops] and although most of the results were for steam mops or the swiffer-type, there did seem to be a few traditional mops in the mix. Searching for [cotton wet mop] helped narrow it down to those; or [sponge wet mop] resulted in a few more options.
Your patrons comment is pretty funny. My guess is that something so relatively simple as a cotton mop doesn’t vary much from brand to brand so doesn’t require as much detailed review. But it’s still worth researching, I guess. Props to her!

Another website that is good for reviews of various consumer goods is Anna & Kristina. They have done a show for years that test items to see the best buy of the items, in fact here a link to an article on testing mops http://www.annaandkristina.com/?action=d7_article_viewer_view_article&Join_ID=269219&template=tp-test-lab-view-article.htm7
